i fail to see how this...
and this..anami said:The Mashiyach - annointed one of the messiah, wouls be a message universal to all, adaptable into any language or perameter of understanding, and the message will be that which saves the world.
the only part of that definition that has to do w/ anyone but the jews is that Jerusalem will be the center of world power...what message is that?jewscout said:Before the time of the moshiach, there shall be war and suffering (Ezekiel 38:16) The moshiach will bring about the political and spiritual redemption of the Jewish people by bringing us back to Israel and restoring Jerusalem (Isaiah 11:11-12; Jeremiah 23:8; 30:3; Hosea 3:4-5). He will establish a government in Israel that will be the center of all world government, both for Jews and gentiles (Isaiah 2:2-4; 11:10; 42:1). He will rebuild the Temple and re-establish its worship (Jeremiah 33:18). He will restore the religious court system of Israel and establish Jewish law as the law of the land (Jeremiah 33:15).
so, what, is this to imply that Rabbi Hillel is/was the Moshiach? This is the idea of the "Golden Rule" that is universal in many faiths and cultures and has been around for a long long time...it's nothing new.anami said:"That which is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. This is the entire Torah; the rest is commentary - go and learn it."
